Not sure I can muster up enough energy to give a crap about an open world shooter, no matter what franchise it's attached to.
Cool trailer. But since it is 4 years away, that trailer is probably pretty much everything that exists.
The grin on my face disappearing when I saw "2030" lol still IT'S ABOUT TIME!!
Im still smiling even after the release date
Great trailer. I assume this will be a next gen release given the release date. I'll give this a go on pc or PS6 😁
That’s like damn near the end of next gen, gonna be rumors of ps7 by then.
Why are we announcing games that are FOUR years away??? Bethesda started this shit with TES VI.
Nah, TES VI was announced at least ten years before release.
Seems like such a weird concept for you to be dominion and for it to be open-world. I would probably have been more down for StarCraft: Ghost but lets see what happens.
Presume with MMO like always online features? Not sure. I'd maybe just prefer a new Starcraft.
Probably like Destiny
Day 1!!!!!
